In the second quarter of Game 2, Manu Ginobili attempted to knock the ball out of Wade's grasp. He failed, making contact with Wade's hand, only for the Heat guard to fling his head back to make it appear as if he were hit in the face.

Ginobili was whistled for a foul on Wade's flop, which was his third foul of the game. He was promptly replaced on the court by Danny Green.

Wade would almost certainly take that trade any day of the week, essentially paying $5,000 to get one of San Antonio's key players out of the game for the final four minutes of the half.

According to the NBA's anti-flopping rules, he is looking at a $10,000 fine if he picks up his second violation this postseason.

Whether this fine will impact Wade moving forward remains to be seen. On the other hand, it might force the referees to keep a closer eye on him for the remainder of the series. However, with a Game 2 victory in hand, Wade will likely gladly pay the fine after drawing level with the Spurs on Sunday.

The Heat host the Spurs for Game 3 on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET with the series knotted at 1-1.
